Rumors have been raised that the last Korean English Premier Leaguer will be transferred. Hwang Hee-chan (30, Wolverhampton Wanderers) has been linked to the prestigious Netherlands.

British media 'Football Insider' said on the 17th (Korea Standard Time), "PSV Eindhoven submitted a proposal to recruit Hwang Hee-chan. Wolverhampton's transfer market plan has been revealed," the exclusive report said.

The media then said, "Eindhoven has begun negotiations to recruit Hwang Hee-chan. We will offer an amount of at least 5 million pounds (about 9.8 billion won) to 10 million pounds (19.7 billion won)."

Even Wolverhampton is on the verge of being relegated to the bottom of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2025-2026 season. Analysts say that Wolverhampton, who felt that the sale of the main player was inevitable, is likely to agree to Hwang Hee-chan's transfer. "Football Insider" said, "Wolverhampton is about to go to the English Championship (second division). We are willing to accept Hwang Hee-chan's transfer offer," he said.

In addition, this is not the first time that Hwang Hee-chan has been transferred. The media said, "Hwang Hee-chan has been rumored to leave Wolverhampton for several years," adding, "Last summer, Crystal Palace showed interest in Hwang Hee-chan." The transfer didn't happen in the end. Earlier, Marseille (France) proposed a transfer before the 2024-2025 season to bring in Hwang Hee-chan, who was very active under Gary O'Neill.

The recent slump also adds weight to Hwang Hee-chan's actual transfer possibility. According to the statistics media 'Foot Mob', Hwang Hee-chan is not out of the recession this season. The average score per 90 minutes is 0.2 goals, the expected score (xG) is 0.21, and the shooting is only 1.42.

In response, "Football Insider" pointed out that even if Hwang Hee-chan leaves the team, Wolverhampton fans will not miss him.

Hwang Hee-chan, who scored the most goals (12 goals) in the EPL in Wolverhampton in the 2023-2024 season, was expected to be the team's ace ahead of the 2024-2025 season. However, during the A-match period in November 2024, he suffered an ankle injury during the third qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North Korea and China and fell into a slump.

The EPL Korean League is on the verge of annihilation. Son Heung-min (34), who has been active in Tottenham Hotspur for 10 years, left for Los Angeles FC in the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) last summer. After signing with Tottenham, Yang Min-hyuk transferred to Portsmouth FC on loan following the Queens Park Rangers (QPR) of the English Championship.
